So, I start to play this. I finish the Binbogami scenario (some guy who literally profits every time he smacks a monster).
Now, I'm playing the same map, but with a demon.
The demon gains levels really quick (good, since level-ups restore hit and skill points). He also gains insane attack power (good, since it doesn't look like he can equip anything or use any special skills).
But, why doesn't he do what I tell him half the time?
Quite annoying when my badass ADHD demon is getting robbed by naked old men.
